Kathy Lane - Assistant Principal
I am a lifelong Stamford Public School employee and former student. I went to Stillmeadow, Cloonan and Westhill High School. I have worked in many building since becoming a teacher and then an Assistant Principal. I spent most of my years at Springdale School, Rogers K-8, and Northeast School. I have been working here at Northeast for 11 years. I love it here!!
At home I have 13 year old triplets. Grace, Maggie and Michael are my favorite people ever and they are in 8th grade this year. We also have 4 Guinea Pigs (Jelly Bean, Willow, Dumpling, and Ginger), 7 chickens (Mango, Chica, Raven, Clarabelle, Clementine, Barbara and Dolores), and two dogs (Gunner and Tank). Two funny pet facts…. Dolores lays green eggs and Gunner is the size of a pony. We have fun with all the furry friends.
When I am not here at work I am enjoying many different activities. They include having fun with my kids and pets, traveling (that is me above in Italy in front of the Colosseum), reading, cooking and baking, and shopping.
I am excited for this year at school and can’t wait to see you all.
